SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Liqid
Inc., leading provider of on-demand composable infrastructure (CI)
technologies, today announced it will showcase its Composable
Infrastructure (CI) solution at Flash Memory Summit 2017, demonstrating
bare-metal CI paired with the Express Box 3600/3450 (EB3600/EB3450), the
leading PCIe-based Multi-GPU PCIe Gen 3 Expansion Chassis series from
One Stop Systems (OSS). Delivering the unprecedented ability to pool and
orchestrate graphics processing alongside storage, networking, and
compute, the demo shows how Liqid CI enables users to dynamically
leverage multiple NVIDIA GPUs aggregated on the EB-series across the
application spectrum, balancing the resource alongside solid state and
other datacenter elements. The infrastructure agility achieved through
the first-of-its-kind configuration can scale graphics processing to
meet the emerging demands of data-hungry applications in fields as
diverse as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT),
Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), high performance computing (HPC),
digital media and entertainment, and much more.

“The Express Box PCIe expansion chassis series from OSS provides the
industry’s most sophisticated vessel for aggregating NVIDIA’s powerful
GPU resources to deliver breakthrough computational capabilities,” said
Steve Cooper, CEO, OSS. “When coupled with innovative CI solutions from
Liqid, the value inherent to the EB-series can be amplified through
Liqid’s pooling, orchestration, and scaling features to drive
improvements in application performance and take greater advantage of
GPU technology’s transformative potential.”

The Express Box series of PCIe expansion chassis provides independent
PCIe slot subsystems that can be managed separately by different hosts.
The EB-series permits IT administrators to aggregate graphics processing
resources for workloads that require more GPU processing power than can
be produced through installation in existing PCIe slots on servers and
workstations. The EB-series is ideal for emerging applications in
artificial intelligence and other high density GPU applications that
demand mission-critical features.

At Flash Memory Summit, Liqid and OSS will showcase how their solutions
can be jointly deployed to scale-out GPU over a composable PCIe fabric,
with Liqid CI providing unprecedented infrastructure agility through its
ability to pool, scale and orchestrate graphics processing alongside the
latest solid-state technologies and other datacenter resources. The live
product demonstration will feature the OSS EB-series GPU expansion
chassis loaded with NVIDIA Tesla GPUs, and deployed on the Liqid Grid
Composable PCIe Fabric Switch, demonstrating dynamic GPU assignment over
a high performance PCIe fabric.

With the Liqid CI Platform built on disaggregated resource pools, users
are finally freed from the restrictions of the motherboard/chassis
paradigm that has remained one of the final and most stubborn physical
limitations of the digital world. Liqid CI software allows IT users to
orchestrate resources as needed and instantly reallocate physical
resources as business needs change.

“Through partnerships with industry-leading companies like OSS, Liqid
continues to demonstrate how increasingly critical GPU resources can be
more effectively deployed alongside flash media and other datacenter
elements to achieve exponential advancements in infrastructure agility
and utilization,” said Jay Breakstone, CEO, Liqid. “With a new
generation of technologies quickly steering us into the next decade of
innovation, our composability solutions can be configured to scale for
graphically intensive compute applications such as genetic mapping, oil
and gas research, or machine learning algorithms, providing the
infrastructure flexibility necessary for continued advancement in a wide
variety of fields.”
